PARTICLEBOARD - PLAIN & HMR

Particleboard is a three layered board with fine particles on the top and bottom surfaces and larger wood flakes in the middle. Particleboard comes in either raw form with sanded surface OR with surface decorative overlay – melamine, vinyl, or wood veneers.

Common grades available: Standard, Moisture Resistant (MR) and Flooring. MR Particleboard has a much slower response to wetting than standard types. It is manufactured with wood particles coated with a moisture resistant resin. Wax also used in the resin has water repellant properties.
